A little over 3 years ago Gas Powered Games took a chance on me and welcomed me to the GPG family. No other company would give me the time of day. Over the past 3 years GPG continued to take chances; first by having me take over the Supreme Commander 2 AI and again by allowing me to create the AI system for their current project from scratch. There aren't many companies that would give that level of responsibility to such a junior engineer.

However, all good things must come to and end.Yesterday I gave notice that as of November 1st I would cease to be an employee at Gas Powered Games. In three weeks I will no longer be working for the employer I spent 2 1/2 years of my life hounding for a job. I wish all the best for GPG and all of its employees in all of their future endeavors and I am very thankful for the opportunities I was given to grow as an engineer.

November 1st starts a new chapter in my career as I join the ranks of Uber Entertainment. I am very excited to have the opportunity to work an such an epic project as Planetary Annihilation. With the amount of talent located in Uber's office this project has huge potential.

I will continue to update my blog as development progresses on Planetary Annihilation, so keep checking back as we go for awesome!

Why did GPG fire you? I don't mean to be insensitive, but I find it weird that they will fire a talented AI producer like you. Company politics, perhaps? Or the company is losing money and needs to downsize its staff?
